 Zilla panchayat president K Koragappa Naik and standing committee chairperson Asha
Thimmappa Gowda expressed concern over PDOs carrying official laptops to homes and to
other gram panchayats when they are transferred. "Is not laptop an asset of the gram
panchayat? PDOs should not be allowed to take laptops home and use it for their personal
work at any cost. Hence, all laptops should be kept at the gram panchayat offices ony," Naik
said.
The discussion on laptop went on and finally the issue was solved by resolving that laptops
should be provided to all gram panchayats in the district. At present, 126 out of 203 gram
panchayats have laptops. This action will directly affect the market of laptops manufacturer
companies.
 The village Gohran in district Kaithal has emerged as 'Madhu Gram' as 110 unemployed
youth of this village are relying solely on Bee Keeping for their livelihood. T he total honey
production of the entire village accounts to about 350 tone and total income generated from
honey is 2.61 crore with honey sold at the rate of Rs. 75 per Kilo gram during last year. The
average net income per family has reached to Rs. 2.5 lakh per annum per family.
 Indira Awas Yojana(IAY): Under the program houses a cost of Rs.20,000/- are constructed
for the families having no shelter and living below poverty line. W.e.f. 01-04-1999, one more
component i.e. upgradation of unserviceable houses has been introduced. Rs.10,000/- will
be given for upgradation which will include smokeless chulha and a toilet. 20% of the total
allocation under the program will be spent on this component. A house will include dwelling
unit along with kitchen, smokeless chulha and a toilet.

 Panchayati Raj
 The Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Sashaktikaran
Abhiyan (RGPSA) was started in the current year
with a modest allocation of `50 crore. Keeping in
view the importance of building capacity in
panchayati raj institutions, I had allocated `455
crore to the Ministry of Panchayati Raj in 2013-
14. I propose to provide an additional `200 crore .
200 crore have been provided under the scheme.
Action completed

 PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA
(PMGSY)
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was
launched on 25th December 2000 as a fully funded
Centrally Sponsored Scheme to provide all weather
road connectivity in rural areas of the country. The
programme envisages connecting all habitations with
a population of 500 persons and above in the plain
areas and 250 persons and above in hill States, the
tribal and the desert areas. This would involve
construction of 1,46,185 Kms of rural roads. Bharat
Nirman envisages upgradation/renewal of 1,94,130
Kms of existing rural roads. This comprises 60%
upgradation from Government of India and 40%
Actual allocation and policy
measures listed out in the budget.

 The Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF)
is a vital source of gap funding. I propose to allocate `11,500
crore in 2013-14 as well as another sum of `1,000 crore for LWE
affected districts. BRGF will include a State component for Bihar,
the Bundelkand region, West Bengal, the KBK districts of Odisha
and the 82 districts under the Integrated Action Plan. The present
criteria for determining backwardness are based on terrain,
density of population and length of international borders. It may
be more relevant to use a measure like the distance of the State
from the national average under criteria such as per capita
income, literacy and other human development indicators. I
propose to evolve new criteria and reflect them in future planning
and devolution of funds.
Work in progress
A committee set up to evolve a composite development index of
States and to recommend criteria has submitted its report. The
recommendations are being examined by Planning Commission.
Actual allocation and policy
measures listed out in the budget.

16. Future projections of main budget that outcomes from FY
2014-15
 i. Fiscal Consolidation: A target of fiscal deficit of 3 percent of GDP must be achieved by 2016-17 and
must always be kept below that level.
 ii. Price Stability and Growth: In a developing economy where the aim is high growth, a moderate level
of inflation will have to be accepted. RBI must strike a balance between price stability and growth while
formulating monetary policy.
 iii. Financial Sector Reforms: The recommendations of the Financial Sector Legislative Reforms
Commission must be implemented immediately as they do not require any change in legislation. Also, a
timetable must be drawn for other recommendations that require legislation.
 iv. Infrastructure: The country must rebuild its infrastructure and add a huge quantity of new
infrastructure. Every proven model must be adopted but the PPP model must be more widely used. New
financing structures must be created for long term funds and pooling of investments.
 v.Manufacturing: The Government must focus on manufacturing and especially on manufacturing for
export. The Minister proposed that all taxes, Central and State, that go into an exported product should
be waived or rebated. He also proposed that there should be a minimum tariff protection so that there is
an incentive to manufacture goods in India rather than import them into India.

17.  vi .Subsidies: Given the limited resources, and the many claims on the resources, the
Government must choose the subsidies that are absolutely necessary and give them only to the
absolutely deserving.
 Vii.Urbanization: The country’s cities will become ungovernable, and perhaps unliveable, if
attention is not paid to the decay in these cities. Cities have wealth and also create wealth. But
that wealth should be tapped for resources to rebuild the cities with a new model of governance.
 Viii. Skill Development: Skill development must rank alongside secondary education,
university education, total sanitation and universal health care in the priorities of the
Government.
 Xi.Sharing responsibility between States and Centre: States have the fiscal space to bear a
reasonable proportion of the financial costs of implementing flagship programmers and must
willingly do so, so that the Central Government can allocate more resources for subjects such as
defense, railways national highways and telecommunications that are its exclusive responsibility.
Finance Minister Shri P Chidambaram said that in the next three decades India will become the
third largest economy behind USA and China.
